nouu ce d from the board of trade gallery to
| day that traders In corn would TO morrow take
| charge of the wheat pit. while the wheat
| traders would take the places lately occupied
| by the corn crowd. Ths move was rendered

while the wheat crowd had become so small
as to require but little room The hot
| wind which blew through the great exchange
| room had tt e same effect on prices that 1t had
on the mercury. EverythiIg went up. Opera

merous ana torc'ble than ever Local operators

| chase, with receivers also taking ha d. May

| quantities by the crowd nearly all day IN bulk.
The crowd would sell but would load up again
